CORN AND BUNION PLASTER.

To all 'IIIIOIII it may concern:

Patented Aug. a, mun.

Be it known that I. Pi-znm' S. BAH-IR, a l confines the heat and causesthe medicaci'tizen of the United States, residing at (hi- 5 cago, in thecounty of (ook and State of lllinois, have invented new and usefulimprovements in Corn and Bunion Masters, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to corn and bunion plasters prepared forapplication b the user and its object is to provide for securing theplaster in place without producing a bulky and uncomfortable bandagebeneath and atthe sides of the toe.

Another object of this invention is to pro vide a double covering forthe medicament whereby to confine the heat from the toe and cause themedicament to act quickly and with full eil'ect. I

In the accompanying drawings Figures 1 and '2 show the plaster appliedto a corn. Fig. 3 shows the binding strip. Fig. 4 is a plan view of theplaster. Fig. I) is a longitudinal sectional view of the plaster. Fig.ti is a sectional view on the line 6-43 of Fig. 4. Fig. 7

Fig. 8 i a sectional view on the line SS of Fig. 7 Fig. 9 is a)crspective view of the plaster as it ap )ears when applied.

.ilclcrring to the dmwings 10 is the binding st-ri made of fabricprovided on one side with a coating 11 of adhesive material. This striphas enlarged ends 12 and 13 and a narrow connecting not H (Fig. 4). Ashield having a central opening 16 and made of felt or other suit-ablematerial is allixed to one of the enlarged ends of the binding strip bythe adhesive on the strip. Thisshield is also )refcrably provided with acoating 17 of adiesive material on its outer face. so that it will stickto the the as applied. A suitable medicament 18 is located on thebinding strip within the opening in the shield.

In applying my improved )laster the shield is arranged on the toe wit 1the medicament directly upon or above the corn, the binding strip iswrapped around the toe, and the. coated side of the free end 13 isallixed t0 the outer uncoaied side of the-end 12 Thus the shield andmedicament. are covered by both ends of ment to act quickly andthoroughly.

The end 12 of the strip-is preferably of the same size as the shield tocompletely,or approximately cover it, and the end 13 is somewhat longerthan the shield to adapt the plaster for toes of dillerent sizes and sothat the end 13 will cover the shield also. The connecting part 14 ofthe binding strip will lie between the adjacent toes and beneath the toehavim the corn and it is made narrow so that it willnot unnecessarilybind the toe and prevent the free moveln .t thereof in l the strip,forming a double covering which.

and rub and otherwise prove uncomfortable and injurious to the user. Thebinding strip may be made so that the connecting art thereof will not.stick to the under side 0 the toe, and this can be accomplished byproviding the strip with win s H (Fig. 3) which are coated with the adiesive and are folded over and upon the 'strip as shown in Figs. 4, 6;or a piece of fabric 20 with a non-adhesive outer face may be laid onthe adhesive coated connecting part of the strip as shown in Figs. 7, 3.

The binding strip will securely hold the shield in its fixed position onthe toe without danger of becoming disnrrnnged in walking.

shie d and thereby better secure it in place, and narrow where itcontacts with the toe to reduce to a minimum the binding effect on thetoe and the im-onvenience to 1 re user.

What I claim and desire. to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. A corn or bunion plaster comprising a binding strip having adhesivematerial on one side thereof throughout its length, said strip havingenlarged ends and a narrow part connecting the ends, a shield nllixed tothe adhesive side of said strip at one end thereof and provided with ano )ening, the other cnlorgcd end of said strip heing longer than theenlarged end which carries the shield, and a medicament located on thestrip within the opening in the shield. u

2. A com or bunion plaster, eon prismg a vide a non-adhesive sectionthereon between the ends of the strip.
